Our Summary of Deception Point by Dan Brown

Dan Brown's mystery novel 'Deception Point' centers on multiple plots, integrating both classified intelligence terminology with 'presidential politics.' Brown begins the book with the discovery of a meteorite. Officials discover that it contains the remains of large bugs. The presence of these fossils is proof of life outside of earth's boundaries. The NASA space team is also participants in the search and discovery of life. One of the scientists is an intelligence analyst, who is daughter to the presidential candidate. Rachel Sexton's position with the National Reconnaissance Office gives her access to the current president. With this context in mind, Brown unfolds multiple plots to the story. For one, the President reports the discovery. However, Rachel questions the validity of the meteorite, signifying a shift in the storyline. In addition to these two plots, the presidential election is gaining ground; but another shift in the plot lines threatens the current president's hope for a reelection. His potential success hinges on NASA's verification or Rachel's revelation of a conspiracy. By the end of 'Deception Point,' the narrator reveals the deception behind the meteorite.
